A unique forest bathing experience to mark the change of season in a simple and authentic way
About this Event

Join us in Epping forest, close to Chingford station - only 20 minutes away from Hackney Central - to attune your bodies and mind to the new season.

In Summer, everything in nature is reaching its peak of growth, nature is lush and vigourous. It is a time to loosen and embrace the fire energy of the sun. Summer invites us to make the most of the present time and to fill our bodies and minds with its bounty.

In the morning light, we will walk at a gentle pace in the forest on an easy and short trail. I will offer you specially crafted activities to help you slow down, ground yourself and engage all your senses. And you will be invited to explore nature in an entirely new way. There will also be moments to share our experience together and time spent in silence. And to end the walk, we'll share a celebratory forest tea.

These walks are like a small journey where time suspends itself. They bring a restorative pause into your life and inform you of your own seasons and transitions, allowing your body and mind to harmonise with the different qualities and energies of each season. The experience fosters also connection between people and deepens our relationship with the rest of nature.

After the walks, people often report a significant reduction of stress and a sense of peace, a lighter mood, an increased self-awareness and a deeper appreciation of our interconnectedness.


NB: A scheduled walk can be postponed due to extreme weather condition. In that case, you'll receive a message with alternative dates to choose from. There is a minimum of 4 participants for the walk to take place.

About me

I'm a certified nature and forest therapy guide and a member of the Association of Nature and Forest Therapy. Nature and forest therapy is a research-based framework inspired by the Japanese tradition of shinrin-yoku (aka forest bathing) and draws on ecopsychology and deep nature connection practices as well.

I hold also an outdoor first aid certificate and carry a first aid kit on all my outdoor work.

During my walks, just like you, I always put away my phone to be present and give my full attention to the group. Respecting your experience is my priority.

After purchasing your ticket, you'll get a confirmation email with more practical details about the walk. Make sure you check your spam/junk file, in case you don't see it.

"It was a magical experience."

"I'm less hyped-up, more aware of the surroundings and more peaceful."
